On the obverse of 2025 1 oz Gold Buffalo Coins, James Earle Fraser’s portrait of an indigenous figure is found in the design element. This right-profile effigy was one of the first major American coin designs reflecting an indigenous figure, though it does not depict a singular person. Fraser used a combination of facial features from three different tribal leaders of the 20th century to influence his design.

The reverse of 2025 American Gold Buffalos comes with an image of the American bison. Also designed by Fraser, this image shows a massive Plains bison in left-profile relief. It is shown standing on a small mound of earth as it grazes with its head down.

James Earle Fraser’s designs found on the American Gold Buffalo were created in 1913. The design was first used on the Buffalo Nickel from 1913 to 1938. The combined designs honoring America’s indigenous history marked the first time an American coin had two designs honoring the native tribes of the continent. Previous coin designs had incorporated native symbolism in effigies of Liberty or featured an indigenous portrait on one side with the American bald eagle on the other.
